Come learn from a Fulbright Research Grantee about her methane emissions research in the Arctic!

This summer in Maine, we’ve experienced the impacts of climate change firsthand: abnormally high temperatures, drought, and looming smoke from Canadian wildfires. There are very few places that can say climate change has not impacted their community in some way. One especially vulnerable region is Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Home to beautiful glaciers, fjords, tundras, and wildlife, Svalbard is at the forefront of climate change, experiencing greenhouse gas-based warming at a much higher rate than the rest of the world. Join the Reserve’s Salt Marsh Field Technician, Jamie Hollander, as she discusses Svalbard and the field work she did there in the summer of 2024 as a Fulbright Grantee. She will share some fun facts, photos, and preliminary data from her Fulbright work investigating methane emissions from glacial landscapes in Svalbard.
